After Mo Cishu left, Jian Yang took out the USB flash drive that Zhao Xiaoyun gave her and plugged it into the computer.
After the USB drive is read, a password box pops up. The password prompt is displayed only once. "Happy bi
thday". Happy birthday?
Remembering the birthday Zhao Xiaoyun had mentioned to him, Jian Yang entered her birthday in the password box, and the USB flash drive was instantly decrypted and a folder popped out.
When Jian Yang opened it, he found that it was full of experimental data.
From the names of chemical reagents she didn't recognize to the experimental steps, as well as many experimental variables and precautions, several gigabytes of data were stored in this USB drive.
Jian Yang couldn't understand most of the content, but she could feel that this USB flash drive was very important.
She couldn't help but wonder what Zhao Xiaoyun's family did.
How can I have so much experimental data at hand?
Jian Yang unplugged the USB drive, put it in the drawer and locked it. She believed that Zhao Xiaoyun must have her own reasons for giving this thing to her.
Mo Cishu has been thinking about a problem since he left Jian Yang's house. He did not go back to the Thirteenth Division directly, but turned the car around at an intersection and got on the intercity highway, heading towards K City.
At 12:30 at night, the black Land Rover stopped in front of the tightly guarded national research institute in K City.
Mo Cishu showed his ID and the security guard let him in.
He found the single-family apartment assigned to the biology professor and knocked on the door rudely at night.
After a while, Jian Zhishu opened the door wearing a coat and asked, "Who is it?"
Mo Cishu stood upright in front of the door, the moonlight falling on his shoulders, not diminishing the coldness of his expression: "Hello, Uncle Jian."
Jian Zhishu is Jian Yang's father. He and the well-known biology professor Lan An are both listed as the "two heroes" of national scientific research workers and are the absolute backbone of scientific research institutes.
When Jian Zhishu saw Mo Cishu, he was stunned for a moment and then called him into the house.
"Come in quickly. Why are you still going to the research institute so late? Do you have a mission?"
At this moment, Jian Yang's mother also emerged from the room. Her name was Lan An. Jian Yang's parents were renowned internationally and domestically for their scientific research.
Lan An poured Mo Cishu a glass of water and whispered softly, "I haven't seen you in a while. You seem to have grown stronger. But being stronger is good too. You look very healthy."
She is an ordinary gentle woman. Apart from the fact that she developed a targeted therapeutic drug for a certain cancer and a hematopoietic injection for leukemia patients at the age of nineteen and was then regarded as a national-level scientific researcher, her daily interactions with others are no different from those of ordinary people.
Even when she saw younger people like Mo Cishu, she really wanted to chat with them more.
Mo Cishu said: "I am not here to carry out a mission, but I have some matters related to Jian Yang that I need to ask the two elders."
Lan An: "Did Jian Yang get into trouble outside? I called her a while ago and told her to be more careful. Didn't she listen?"
Her eyes were filled with worry. Although she rarely left the research institute to accompany Jian Yang, she was also a mother.
Jian Zhishu also adjusted his glasses and said, "I heard from Jian Yang that you have always been very nice to her. But Jian Yang, we haven't been with her much since she was a child, so she might have a bad temper. If she does something that makes you angry, don't take it personally. Tell us and we will help you scold her later."
Mo Cishu said, "I can see that both of you care about Jian Yang very much, but I'm not here today because Jian Yang did anything wrong. I want to know... have you two ever taken Jian Yang abroad before? Have you ever taken her to Country Y?"
Lan An's gentle smile suddenly faded. Jian Zhishu, who was more patient, asked, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Mo Cishu said, "Recently, the Thirteenth Division has discovered some unsettling things, and it seems to be related to Jian Yang. I'm just curious and wanted to ask."
Lan An's eyebrows twitched, and a hint of uneasiness appeared on his face.
Jian Zhishu patted the back of Lan An's hand and said to Mo Cishu, "Then you really guessed wrong. Jian Yang has lived in Country Z since he was a child and has never left."
Mo Cishu pursed his lips and asked doubtfully, "Really?"
Jian Zhishu said, "If you don't believe me, you can investigate. Doesn't the Thirteenth Department have an Information Department? All our entry and exit records can be checked there."
Mo Cishu's voice sank. "It's precisely because they haven't found anything over there that I came to ask the two elders tonight. Has Jian Yang ever left the country? I used to be in charge of border security, and I know there are many ways to enter the country without anyone noticing."
Jian Zhishu's expression darkened. "Are you saying we smuggled her out?"
Mo Cishu said: "This matter is very important, I just want to hear the truth."
Jian Zhishu's voice instantly rose three degrees. "I've said everything I need to say. If you don't believe me, why are you asking? If you think we're entering or leaving the country without permission, you can send someone to investigate. If you think there's something wrong, just arrest us all!"
"Uncle Jane!"
Jian Zhishu's eyes widened: "I said Jian Yang has never left Country Z!"
Lan An quickly patted his back and whispered, "Calm down."
The atmosphere was tense for a moment. Lan An didn't want to make things worse, so he said to Mo Cishu, "It's late, your uncle hasn't slept well and is in a bad mood. Why don't you come back another day?"
She hurriedly ordered them to leave, ostensibly because she didn't want to make Jian Zhishu even angrier, but in fact, she wanted to avoid Mo Cishu's questioning and prevent him from finding out anything.
Jian Zhishu saw Mo Cishu stand up, but the next second, instead of walking out, he bowed to them.
"Uncle Jian, Aunt Lan, it's not that I don't trust you, but Jian Yang is in trouble right now, and there are some things I must clarify. If I thought there was something wrong with you, then this conversation today wouldn't be taking place in the research institute, but in the record room of the Thirteenth Department. I came to you because I don't want more people to know about this."
Mo Cishu looked up and said, "Some time ago, the Thirteenth Division discovered a suspicious individual entering the country. He was none other than the crazy doctor, Jon, who disappeared over a decade ago. He had previously conducted inhumane experiments on a group of children, and all of them subsequently died suddenly. I wonder if you've heard of this incident?"
When Lan An heard this, his expression became obviously nervous and worried.
Although Jian Zhishu didn't say anything, from his serious expression, it was obvious that he also knew about this matter.
Mo Cishu continued, "Jian Yang has been plagued by misfortunes lately. He's been kidnapped twice already, and we don't know what will happen in the future."
Lan An's breathing stagnated: "Someone wants to arrest her?"
Mo Cishu nodded.
Lan An asked worriedly, "Why didn't Jian Yang tell us?"
Mo Cishu said, "Maybe she doesn't want you to worry. Maybe... she feels that she is not that close to you anymore."
Hearing this, Lan An and Jian Zhishu couldn't help but show a hint of sadness in their eyes.
If they had enough time, who wouldn't want to be with their daughter? However, for the sake of long-term drug development, they had to stay in the laboratory day and night.
Unexpectedly, this would become Jian Yang's reason to distance himself from them.
Mo Cishu said, "I suspect all of these things were orchestrated by the same person, and the target was Jian Yang. Some time ago, I heard Jian Yang say that her birthday was actually March 11th. This coincides with the March 11th incident recorded in the Thirteenth Division. I don't believe this is a simple coincidence."
He looked at Jian Yang's parents sincerely: "If you don't tell me the truth, I won't be able to protect her better. I must know what the other party wants! Please tell me what secrets Jian Yang is hiding."
